#PI_Daily It’s Tuesday so for @NewHorizons2015 that meens our weekly mission operations & mission leadership team tag up with Alice Bowman leading the meeting. We do these 50x per year, skipping on a couple of major holiday Tuesdays at most. Go New Horizons! #Space #Science #NASA

THE STORY IS OUT! I've been selected to be the first ever researcher to fly on a NASA-funded commercial suborbital space mission! See here: swri.org/.../stern-nasa…... Go NASA! Go Science! #DreamDoComeTrue #PersistencePays

Lots of emails and social posts asking what mementos I plan to bring with me to space when I fly my #NASA research mission on Virgin Galactic. I have a few ideas. For sure I’ll bring a picture of my dad, who passed in #2019. Miss you every day dad! #Space #Science

UnitedAirlines So THAT is how UnitedAirlines apparently treats loyal customers in #COVID19. I appealed with United, they said I can buy my way back to 1K for over $5000! Are they kidding? #UnitedAirlines Sucks 2/2

I hate to say it, but this is how United Airlines treats good customers: I was just downgraded from 1K to Premier bcs I didn’t fly enough during #COVID19! Incredible! I have >2 MILLION miles with United & have made 1K status over virtually EVERY year in the 21st century. #UnitedSucks 1/2

United Airlines So THAT's how United Airlines treats loyal customers during #COVID19. Not even a year of grace! I appealed to United Airlines by phone & they said I can buy my way back to 1K for over $5000! Are they kidding? This for two decades of loyal flying “the friendly skies”?#UnitedAirlinesSucks 2/2

Today is Friday the 13th! Because my dad passed away on Friday, Sep 13, 2013, I celebrate his life here every time another Friday the 13th comes. Here's to the spectacular life you lived and all you gave us, dad! Miss you every day! Love, -Alan
